Investigators say they questioned Ramon Rivas and Jose Rodriguez, who were sitting in a Jeep Cherokee on Sedgewick Avenue on Saturday afternoon. Authorities then searched the Jeep, where they found 48 pounds of heroin hidden in the trunk.

Authorities also searched Rivas' Sedgewick Avenue home, where they found 31 pounds of heroin in a compartment in the wall, an additional 13 pounds in the floor of a closet and $50,000 in cash. A search of Rodriguez's storage unit turned up another 9 pounds of heroin, officials say.
